I woke up this morning, my first thought slightly tinged with sadness at how close the end of the fast is. It really is close now. After today, just one more full day before Day 21, and I slowly begin to reintroduce food back into my life…

I’ve been water fasting as part of a healthy lifestyle and path of self-discovery for many years now – and I’ve helped thousands of others do the same. I hope the various programs and online support, as well as the articles and videos offered on this website, deepen your own journey into water fasting.
